I walk into my bed room dragging my bag on the ground behind me. Literally.
I take a quick shower and go downstairs where my mom is watching tv.
"Oh, Selene. I wanted to talk to you and your brother." She says turning off the tv. I nod.
She calls Jason downstairs and she sits us down in the living room.
"Okay," she sighs deeply. "You two are old enough to know the truth."
"Do you both ever wonder why you both are faster, stronger and smarter?" She asks. I shake my head while Jason nods. No I've never thought that to be honest.
"Well it's because you guys are different. I am also different. We call ourselves, Fables." She stops letting it all sink in.
I don't believe her, I want to but I can't. There's no such thing.
"But there are 2 types of Fables. Red-blooded ones. Which is us, we are close to humans. Then there's the Silver-blooded ones. They will do anything to harm a red-blooded. Why? Because the red-blooded are more powerful and because each red-blooded posses different powers. If a silver-blooded kills a red-blooded. The silver-blooded will have all the powers that the red-blooded did. Understand?" She finishes.
I just stare at her in disbelief. I side glance at Jason, he's in a way worse condition then I am. He looks like he's about to have a panic attack.
"Prove it." I say after a long silence.
Mom looks a bit taken back because of what I asked but she nods.
She gets up from her seat and then... BAM
Wings burst out of her back. They're white and you can barely see them. They resemble bird wings but without the feathers.
"We all have them. But each of us have a different shade." She says.
"How do I summon them?" Jason asks. Now he has a grin plastered on his face. "You have to think about them, will them to come." She answers. "Can you fly?" I ask mom.
She nods and slowly begins to rise off the ground. Me and Jason gasp in unison.
I close my eyes. I wanna do that too.
Please come, wings
Please?
I open my eyes and turn around. There's absolutely nothing there. I look at Jason. He not even here anymore. "This is amazing!!" Jason yells. I look up and see him soaring through the house.
Another thing I can't do.
"It's alright honey. They'll come to you."
She says while she comes down. "Now tell me, have you been having any strange visions or nightmares?" She asks. I sigh in reply and nod. Jason comes down and stands beside me.
I explain my nightmares to my mom. "They will soon turn into visions. That guy, do you feel drawn to him. Like you know him?" She asks
I nod. "I-I also feel drawn to C-Christopher Lovett." I stutter.
She nods thoughtfully. Just saying his name and thinking about him gives me butterflies. WAIT WHAT!? I GET BUTTERFLIES WHEN I THINK ABOUT HIM??!!
"Don't worry honey, just don't draw attention to yourself. This Is one of your responsibilities I'm guessing. You have to save this Mystery Boy." She says. I just nod after she pauses each time.
"And mom?" I say. "How do I know if there's a Silver-blood near me?" I ask. She puts her hand to her chin and thinks about it. "If I Silver-blood isn't trying to hide themselves, then you'll feel anger and weakness. But they have the power to disguise that. They can change what a red-blood feels around them. So I don't know." She says
I nod. Anyone can be a silver-blood without me knowing. Hell, Christopher can be one.

Jason drives us to school the next day. Us both are still thinking about what mom revealed to us yesterday. It gives me the shivers whenever I think about silver-bloods.
He parks the car. "Later." He says and hops out the car. I look in the mirror. Eww, it's me.

I walk through the halls, making my way to English class. I walk inside and sit in the farthest corner. 'Don't attract any attention' I remember mom saying. I plop down on one of the chairs. Sigh.
I take a out my book and start reading, 'Harry potter'. My favourite.
"Hey, is anyone sitting here?" A voice asks from beside me. I don't glance up. "No." I reply, still looking at the book. But I do sense someone sit down beside me.
I finally look up to see Christopher giving me s goofy grin. And for some odd reason, I get butterflies in my stomach. "Whatcha readin?" He asks. "Harry potter." I reply.
"So...." He says. I look at him curiously. "If you're free tonight... Maybe we can umm... Go to I don't know.... Umm... An arcade... T-that is I-if you want to go." He says, his cheeks taking on a deep colour of pink. "I-I'd love to actually." I respond without even thinking. Then I start to blush. What has gotten in to me?
"Really??!!" He says somewhat shocked. "I- how about 7 pm tonight?" He asks. "Awesome, oh and.... C-can I... May I have your... Umm number?" I ask looking down. "Yes of course." He says. "I'll pick you up at at 7 tonight Kay?" He says, putting his cool mask back on. "O-okay."
What is this feeling I'm getting. Is it love?
No it can't be, but maybe it is.

I to our table where they all are snickering and giggling again. I see Mystery boy in the corner with his friends, laughing. Wait... Is that Jason?
My twin brother is sitting right beside Mystery boy.
I'm back in the nightmare, but I wasn't even sleeping. I take the route that I always take to get to him. The sorrow, anger and frustration hits me all at once.
My nose fills with that familiar sent of trees and nature. The sent I love.
There he is. This time I don't wait for the explosion, I just run up to him. "It's you..." He says. "Yes it's me." I reply.
Then I wrap my arms around his toned waist and lift off into the sky with him. Wait what? My wings, I've summoned them somehow.
"Selene????!!!" Ellie yells in my ear. "Yeah me too!!" I yell out of nowhere. They all giggle. "You've been staring at him for like 10 minutes now. What has gotten into you?" Cassia asks. I shake my head and glance at Mystery boy. He's looking right at me with those mysterious, warm brown eyes of him. I don't look at him, I just look down at my untouched food. I didn't see it but Taylor is in Christopher's lap, practically kissing him to death.
Anger flares inside me and ball my hands into fists. "Easy there, don't get involved." Amethyst says. I nod and ignore them both.  Why was I even angry? No angry isn't the word, jealous is the right word for what I feel right now.
Why though?
